The Cote d’Ivoire international is very keen on returning to European football in a bid to stay fit ahead of the African Cup of Nations in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 next year and many clubs are indeed interested in signing the talented striker
With the Chinese Super League season now over, Cote d’Ivoire international, Didier Drogba is free but knows that he needs to stay in a good physical condition if he is to finally break his country’s jinx at the African Cup of Nations.
And, in order to do so, the 34-year-old is keen on securing a loan-move at a European side in a bid to stay in shape. In recent days, a lot of clubs from the Old Continent have been linked with moves for the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 man with the London club also being
touted as a possible destination.
However, the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 and a few unnamed clubs have also entered the fray which means that it is still not clear as to where Drogba would end up.
The Ivorian has already asked world football governing body FIFA to grant him special permission to join a European outfit on loan as his transfer will fall off the winter transfer session which begins in January next year.
And, it appears that people at Sepp Blatter’s office are indeed considering giving the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shanghai-Shenhua-c40497 man an exemption.
Bettor.com now takes a look at two clubs that could be seeing their icon returning.
Chelsea FC
Last night, in the 3-0 defeat at the hands of Italian Serie A side Juventus, reigning Champions League holders, Chelsea FC really missed the presence of their former striker who did so much for the London club during his time at Stamford Bridge. And, the
striker might love the idea of returning to the English Premier League where he is still regarded as one of the best foreign strikers the Island had ever seen.
And, with the sacking of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo earlier today, the new manager, whoever it may be, would love to have an old head around at the training sessions which will indeed make things easier for him.
Furthermore, it is not really clear whether the Blues would go for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 one day but may have to wait till the next season for that.
And, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 all those years ago, the arrival of Drogba could prove to be a turning point of Chelsea’s season which is somewhat crumbling at the moment.
Olympique de Marseille
Although he was at the Velodrome for just one season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 had done enough for the club to forever remain in the hearts of Olympique de Marseille fans where he maintains an iconic status. And, a move to the Rhone club cannot be ruled either considering
the fact that the striker has always declared him love for the Ligue 1 outfit.
And, with Elie Baup’s side having a striker crisis at the moment due to injuries to Andre-Pierre Gignac and Loic Remy, the arrival of the Ivorian, albeit for a few weeks, would indeed be appreciated by the club coach who does not have a plethora of strikers
at his disposal.
